Philosophy of Science Publications from the SPAMS Lab
The SPAMS Lab publishes critical analyses of existing psychological theory and how it informs research. These analyses are largely directed at the areas of study for the lab (i.e., social perception, attitudes, mental simulation). With these publications, we hope to create a better philosophy of science understanding within social and personality literature and more theoretical precision within various phenomena.
